First Trip in New to Me F350
I recently picked up a 2006 F350 long bed crew cab diesel to replace my '04 Expedition. I can't get over how much better this is for towing! I just set the cruise at 65 and tick along all day long.
My favorites:
Best moment was passing a 1/2 ton Toyota that was towing a much smaller trailer up a 5% grade in Wyoming. I love this truck!
My favorites:
- Huge 38 gallon tank lets me run almost eight hours towing in the flat lands
- Stopping at the truck stop diesel island is so much easier than a regular gas station, I can put 30 gallons in the tank in less than 2 minutes
- Fuel economy boost from 9 MPG (Expy) to 12 MPG
- I no longer get tensed up when I see a hill, the truck just goes up it, no worries
- It's quieter than my 5.4 was since it's turning so much slower
